Lives of the most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 08 (of 10)
"Lives of the Most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 08 (of 10)" by Giorgio Vasari is a historical account written in the early 16th century. This volume focuses on the lives and works of notable artists such as Bastiano da San Gallo, Benvenuto Garofalo, and Girolamo da Carpi, detailing their contributions to the fields of painting, sculpture, and architecture during the Renaissance. It provides insights into their artistic practices, influences, and
key works that defined their careers. The opening of this volume introduces Bastiano da San Gallo, also known as Aristotile, illustrating his artistic journey from being an apprentice under Pietro Perugino to becoming an accomplished painter and architect. The narrative describes his admiration for Michelangelo and how that led him to pursue mastery in drawing and perspective. As his story unfolds, we learn of his works, his friendships with notable contemporaries, and the significant commissions he undertook. The segment sets the tone for a thorough exploration of each artist's life, their visionary work, and the cultural backdrop of the Renaissance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
